So what dictates the very sequence that are instructions that get decoded? Has anyone ever seen scrambled letters thrown only to land and form even a basic sentence?
Ps, if I am to ignore insults, how bout calling off the goons here? Although some posters are polite and is appreciated
I think you maybe be under a misapprehension about what is meant (in a scientific context) by 'laws'. Again, they describe what happens, they don't dictate what happens. Hydrogen and oxygen will get together in a certain way, irrespective of what the laws of science have to say about it. By dint of hard work, very clever people have sussed out ways of expressing how this happens.
Suppose that tomorrow, all objects near the Earth's surface started accelerating at 8 m/s/s, instead of the more usual 9.8. Scientists would start working out why this happened and would (given time and a bit of luck) come up with a set of equations to describe it. If laws dictated the behavior of the universe, scientists would witness the change in acceleration and refuse to believe it.
I'm not authorized to 'call off the goons', and I have no way to enforce politeness. If you feel someone has broken a Rule (and rudeness in and of itself doesn't count), you have every right to make a report. Just be sure you cite which Rule you think has been broken.
